UFO falls in Maine, 1960

Summary

A mysterious object reportedly fell in Clear Lake, Maine, on October 5, 1960, according to a declassified report. Witnesses claimed something fell from the sky and embedded in the ground, creating a hole about 14 inches in diameter. However, when investigators arrived at the site, they found no evidence of an impact or the object itself. One witness reported hearing objects falling on a building's roof, leading to speculation about a shotgun discharge. The investigation concluded there was insufficient data to determine the nature of the incident.

Reconnaissance of the area revealed no strange objects or significant damage. The possibility of a UFO was dismissed due to the lack of physical evidence. Although the report suggested the noise might have been mistaken for an explosion or gunfire, no confirmation of a hunter firing in the area was found. The official report ended without a definitive conclusion.
